Baltimore Sun crime reporter Justin Fenton noticed the handgun charge and jokingly tweeted the nugget as a flight of fancy for The Wire‘s diehard fans. Fenton on Monday gathered more facts, found out the character was not based on a real person and tweeted: “If you saw my tweet last night about an arrest of an Omar Little Jr, I reached out to David Simon, who says it is ‘coincidence, completely.’”

There doesn’t appear to be any public comment from Michael K. Williams, who played Omar, at this time.

We’ll also keep an eye out to see whether any Marlo Stanfields are headed for central booking.
